Deadline for submitting asset and liability statements extended: 6 things you need to know about it

July 2, 2026

It was previously announced that the annual and post-retirement asset and liability statements as of March 31, 2026, should be filed on or before June 30, 2026.

For those required to submit declarations of assets and liabilities in terms of the Anti-Corruption Act, the declaration of assets and liabilities should be made only through the centralized electronic system established by the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption.

However, the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption has observed that people have had to face technical glitches due to congestion in the system due to the high number of users accessing the centralized electronic system in a single day since June 28, 2026.

Accordingly, the Commission announces that officers who were unable to submit their declaration of assets and liabilities on or before June 30, 2026 despite successfully registering in the centralized electronic system, and persons who attempted to register by accessing the centralized electronic system on or before June 30, 2026 but were unable to complete the registration process due to technical errors, have been given the opportunity to submit their declaration of assets and liabilities without incurring a fine until 12.00 midnight on July 7, 2026.

After that deadline, statements of assets and liabilities can be submitted until August 31, but then a fine will be imposed for late filing.

Following the introduction of the Anti-Corruption Act of 2023, the range of those required to provide asset and liability declarations was expanded.
